Tony,
I
downloaded manual from their web site, and I'm just looking at it.
On the
page 42 there's a screenshot and explanation of IP settings and there is
section
for DHCP settings.
There's a tickbox DHCP enable and option to choose DHCP Primary
port:
Wireless or Ethernet.
Primary port means where it should receive IP address from, through
ethernet port or wirelessly.
But
this manual looks slightly different from what I got with AP, maybe newer
version.
Maybe
current firmware doesn't have these options.
Anyway, I'll try it tonight and let you know.
Unfortunatelly, I'm using ICS, which uses it's own DHCP server,
which has
it's own scope (192.168.0.2-192.168.0.254).
It's
all hardcoded, so I cannot change the scope to include AP's default IP
address.
I
would have to use proper DHCP server, but Microsoft doesn't support them
running
together on the same LAN. (although, I know that it's
working).
So, I
don't see the other way than what I described before, for my network
configuration.

Nikola,
I don't recall seeing an option to allow the AP
to
use DHCP.
You should be able to change it's IP address to something in
the
192.168.0.x
range so you can see it from your LAN.
Make sure though
that
you choose an address outside the range used by the
DHCP server or else
it
will get confused!
I left mine on the default 192.168.1.250, with my
DHCP server allocating
addresses from 192.168.1.200-192.168.1.249,
so
WiFi cards, as well as the wired cards all get an IP in this range -
ie,
the AP takes the addresses it dishes out from the DHCP server, it
does
not
have it's own DHCP server that it allocates addresses from.
I
initially thought it would have it's own & anticipated problems.
I
was
pleasantly surprised when it didn't & all worked as I wanted it
to....
Tony
